I have been using pyusb (1.0.0a2) successfully on Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0.zip and used the bin\inf-wizard.exe to create .inf files matching my device. The generated installer_x64.exe and installer_x86.exe did not work for me, but plugging in the device, selecting "manually locate driver" and browsing to the generated driver folder with the .inf file worked fine. Maybe you can try the same, unless you need to use the "filter" method. > > The reason I picked libusb-win32, rather than > http://www.libusb.org/wiki/libusb-1.0 is that I really don’t want to have to > build a Windows library from sources.

I found binary snapshots through http://www.libusb.org/wiki/windows_backend . This page is now difficult to find through the libusb.org web site, nowadays libusbx.org is maybe a better place to look. I used zadig.exe to select WinUSB for my device. libusb-1.0 then accesses the device through WinUSB, and is not itself associated with the device. I can not find back to which snapshot I was using, or why I preferred using libusb-win32, but it I am pretty sure it worked with pyusb.
